Here's how I look at it. And it's probably not what some people want to hear 
but here goes:
- This is unfortunately pretty much what we can expect from now on. We've known this was coming for years.....at least, the conspiracy theorists knew it, even if nobody else was listening or taking them seriously. So we can't be all surprised about it;
- They can block access to internet sites, but there are ways around them. And on a sidenote, people shouldn't be using AOL Time Warner anyway, they suck. Them and their mass CD mailouts cluttering everybody's mailboxes, desparately trying to get everybody to use them. Bah! I don't think so. And if AOL / Time Warner wants to block things? Let 'em. We'll boycott them, AND spread the word about it. Pull the curtain back on what they're doing, reveal this for what it is;
- Take this as a sign that it's time to move on, to the next level. This is the most important point, the one I figured some might frown upon. What, are we supposed to read these conspiracy news headlines websites for years, going in circles? When are we going to start DOING something? How long are we going to be readers, instead of do-ers? When the sites start going down, we have no choice anymore but to stop reading and start doing. It's a nudge, a "sign" if you will. Time to move to the next stage.
These websites have been around for years, and their site owners have been fighting the fight for years, but did we honestly think we were all going to just keep plugging along, as we are now? 30 years from now did we expect that we'd STILL be sitting in front of our computers, reading Rense, Icke, Alex Jones, etc?? Going in those proverbial circles, getting ALL wound up by the doomsday conspiracy headlines? Basically, same s***, different day?
No. We knew that things were going to change. Change is not necessarily bad. Change is a catalyst for a new way of being to come in. So take this as a nudge from something who feels that we've gotten a bit "stuck", or stagnant. It's time to get moving, move on to the next step.
And to tackle the idea of "But these sites keep everybody informed about what the government is up to!!! These sites give us the TRUTH that the mainstream media won't give us!!! We NEED them for that!! We NEED someone who can tell us these things!!"
Again, we've been reading this material for how long now....??? We already KNOW what's going on. We don't need Alex Jones, Jeff Rense, David Icke, et al to tell us anymore what "really happened" any time some major worldwide event has happened. They have laid the foundation of what we need to know and what we need to look for, so that we in turn can take those tools and now use them to think for ourselves.
It's not hard to look at any mainstream media item and see through it and dissect it for what it really is. Once you've learned how to do it, from the tools that were given to us by these guys and many others, you can do it on your own. Technically, we don't NEED these sites to forever be telling us what's "really" happened. We should know by this point. The media lies. Anything you hear from them is a distortion. This reality is not what they're telling us it is. Period. How much more do you honestly need to know, right? So now it's time to move to the next level. And to think that we need these sites just for "the principle of it" is to say that you kind of believe that the world as we currently know it will still exist in its present form decades from now. Which it won't. It was all bound to change. The conspiracy theorists knew it years ago. Some people are just having a hard time dealing with it now that the time has officially arrived. It's no longer in the future. It's now.
If someone is feeling an urge to take on the censorship issue, that's cool, it's not a bad thing to do, because I don't think this should be allowed to happen without some sort of fight. Like I mentioned earlier, boycott AOL / Time Warner, tell everybody you know and pull the curtain back on this, expose it. But also see the signs and feel the nudge to move on to the next level. Don't just remain stagnant, in front of your computer, thinking that for the next 20, 30, 40, 50+ years we were going to have these sites to continually pour over, stagnantly going in circles, forgetting to move along.

Not that I care about porn, or am all anti-porn, but it is funny that we'll still have access to porn if we wanted, but not alternative news sites. Figures.
